Mornin' y'all! I'm sleepy this morning...the hubs has been having trouble sleeping, which means *I* have trouble sleeping. Hopefully things will get better after the surgery next week.
Anyway, I mentioned that I had made a couple of cards on Wednesday that I just wasn't thrilled with when I finished, and here's one of them:
I did enjoy playing with the new Regal Flora bundle but I think I was trying too hard to make multiple challenges work together for me. I do like the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday:
And the floral theme at Inspire. Create. was an easy add:
I think it was the colors from The Card Concept that tripped me up:
I used Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Crushed Curry, and Boho Blue, which look great together--my problem was finding patterned paper that worked with what I was going for and I don't think it really gelled quite right. But not every card can be your favorite, right? And I got to practice layering lots of die-cut images for a clean-and-layered style card.
Almost time to get the kiddo off to school and then I get to do the super-fun grocery shopping. We'll see if the contractor actually shows up today (he didn't yesterday) to fix whatever is wrong with our shower now. So ready to have our shower back and functional!
Cheers, y'all.

ReplyDeleteAnother card, and very pretty, using our TSOT sketch challenge... loving the bright flowers against you pretty background. Thanks for sharing with us. Additionally, I wasn't able to comment on your other card, and wonder if it might be an incorrect link, our DT are having problems with commenting and don't want you missing out on their comments.
ReplyDeletePretty card. I love the ink blended oval - it seems to help tie everything together. The jewel tones you chose are gorgeous. Thanks for joining us at Try A Sketch On Tuesday.
